To answer your question about who made the connection that Elizabeth was a Fowler, it was her greatgrandaughter, Liza Wood Peebles, who told my mother back in the 1970's when my mother went to the Delta of Mississippi, where Aunt Liza lived, to interview her about the Wood family.
She told her that Elizabeth was a Fowler before she married the Woods man, and was born in Georgia. I have my mother's research data from the 1970's.
On one of the family sheets she has written that Liza Wood Peebles stated that Elizabeth was a Fowler. Liza Wood Peebles was the daughter of Francis Marion (Frank) and Sarah Hazeltine Shepherd Wood.
Francis Marion was the son of James Blackmon and Elizabeth Fowler Woods Wood. My daddy's father was a brother to Liza Wood Peebles, his name was James Elijah Wood. That is the info that I have about Elizabeth's maiden name.
Thank you Gilda!
